I got to thinking about this a couple of weeks ago. Out of curiosity, what names from the 2013 Atlantic (or Pacific) sound like they could cause trouble and wreck havoc if given the chance to develop?
My picks are...
Atlantic Ocean
Dorian
Erin
Humberto
Ingrid
Karen (there's something about this one I can't shake off...)
Lorenzo
Van
Wendy (I was on the fence about this one)
Pacific Ocean
Erick
Ivo
Kiko
Manuel
Tico
Zelda

What, exactly, are you basing this on? :dunno:

It's not based on anything factual or scientific. It's a fairly simple question. In your opinion, are there any names on either or both lists that makes you feel unease or sound like they could shape up to be powerful hurricanes if they developed? There's no right or wrong answer it's just what you feel or think.
EDIT: Take Ivan from 2004 as an example, you've heard of "Ivan the Terrible" right? Knowing about that you could have thought, "I wonder if Ivan could be a troublemaker" this year." It doesn't mean it would have, it's just what you're inferring about that name.
Maybe the better thread title should have been, "Hurricane Names That Sound Powerful".

I pick Olga and Sebastien. TV shows always an Olga character tough.
In the Josie cartoon, Alexandra's cat Sebastien is always making trouble.
